OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT ¥ » National Office Manila =a Dear Scout Leaders and Leaders of Adults, A heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all of you, who have been devoting your time, efforts and expertise in rendering service to the Boy Scouts of the Philippines in general and the Program and Adults in Scouting Devel- opment in particular. In spite of your hectic schedules and heavy work- loads, you never failed to serve the youth by faithfully carrying out your duties and responsibilities in your respective Units, Sponsoring Institu- tions, Scouting Districts, Local Councils and Regions. I believe Col. James Doolittle when he said that “Nothing is stronger than the heart of a volunteer”. Volunteerism is an act of compas- sion. It is an act of selfless service for a cause that will outlast our name and leave our noble legacy behind for the future generations. It is with great honor and privilege therefore, that I am presenting to you the Revised Adults in Scouting Policy Series including Volumes 1, 2 and 3 for all Ranks and Levels. Having this policy that will guide you in performing your tasks and make it truly motivating and inspiring. With the readily available terms of reference, guidelines and policies related to our roles as Adults in Scouting, we are assured that we will have a more efficient and effective management of the various Scouting levels. This Manual offers a detailed and comprehensive job description, profile, duties and responsibilities, and will serve as effective instruments in de- veloping the youth to become responsible citizens and future leaders of our country and thus, contribute and help in making a much peaceful and better world. Scouting. Long live Boy Scouts of the Philippines! > WENDEL E. A\ National Preside!(Adults in Scouting| Boy Scouts of the Philippines OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL National Office Manila My Dear Friends, Colleagues and Fellow Workers in Scouting, Warmest greetings to one and all! I personally salute and congratulate our volunteer leaders and professional staff involved in the revision of the BSP’s National Adults in Scouting Policy: An Introduction to the Life Cycle of an Adult in Scouting. Truly this effort is a job well done. I take pride and honor to present this policy to our Scout Leaders and Leaders of Adults at all levels. Tam certain that this will surely help you to have a better understanding and clearer perspective on how we aim to manage your tenure in Scouting with much enriching experience. This will be a series of three (3) Volumes of National AIS Policy — the Volume 1 covers the Unit and Institution Level Positions, Volume 2 encompasses the District and the Council Level Posi- tions, while Volume 3 scopes the Regional and National Level Positions. These series specifically outline the Job Profile, Job Description and Mutual Agreement for all Unit Leaders and that of the Leaders of Adults. This will also serve as the foundation and underlying principles of our re- spective functions, roles and responsibilities in Scouting and eventually will help and support our young people as they go through our Youth Pro- gramme, which will train them to become future leaders and responsible citizens that will contribute in nation-building, thus, help in creating a better world. With that, for and on behalf of the Professional Staff of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, National Office and the National Executive Board, I wish to convey our sincerest appreciation and deepest gratitude to all of you. May God Bless Us All! Yours in Scouting, ¢ LIO S. wap. Acting Secretary feralAdults in Scouting Greetings! ~ In our pursuit to make scouting as a way of life, ==)/ the Boy Scouts of the Philippines continues to put ) a premium on the very important role of adult = ) leaders in this noble organization. As such, the BSP has continuously boosted the knowledge and capacity of adult leaders across the Philippines to help flourish the scouting movement. Congruent to our vision of preparing the youth to become agents of change in communities, it is incumbent upon our organization to also mold adult leaders to better implement our vision. The BSP leadership remains committed on this premise, and shall continue to find innovative ways to this cause. On behalf of the BSP, I wish to extend my snappy salute to all adult leaders in the Philippines for taking part in the noble task of nation-building and character-build- ing among our young scouts. Your sense of volunteerism creates ripples of trans- formation across the archipelago. You are the unsung heroes of this organization and it is proper that we extend our appreciation to all you have done to the ad- vancement of scouting movement in the Philippines. The publication of this important document highlights the commitment of the BSP to propagate the number of adults involved in our movement. Included here are important pieces of the organization's training policies and the Policies related to the Adults in Scouting in general. As chairman of the Committee on the Adults in Scouting, I want to ensure that we are working hard on increasing the number of adult leaders for us to be able to steer the direction of the BSP in the years ahead. As you scan this important document, may you reaffirm your commitment in help- ing our scouting community grow stronger. Thank you very much and more power. Mabuhay ang Boy Scouts of the Philippines!
